Sean Astin negotiating role in ABC comedy

Good news, Goonies fans.
Or LOTR fans. Or 24 fans. Sean Astin has bigger plans than just a meerkat soap opera. He's reportedly
in negotiations to star in an ABC comedy pilot called The Guys. It's about five dads who become friends when
their kids have a playdate at one of the fathers' homes. If two of the four Hobbits are on ABC, can we start calling it
Middle Earth?
